“Love is like the wind, you can’t see it but you can feel it”.
This quote explains what love is and how it feels to be loved. It gives an indication that true love can’t be seen but rather felt, but not everyone is bound to have this experience.
Over the past few years, many female journalists have been in the spotlight due to their hard work, dedication and commitment to their work.
In an environment dominated by men, a lot of women have changed the status quo and have risen to fame in journalism. In the quest of becoming famous, most women have had to suffer the outcome.
Most female journalists have seen their love life sink to the bottom of the ocean due to their work.
In an interview with Akoma FM‘s Ama Serwaa, Beatrice Spio-Garbrah, a seasoned broadcast journalist, revealed that she had had difficulties in finding true love due to her work.
Spio-Garbrah, who was celebrated for spending two decades in journalism last week, confirmed that the nature of her work has affected her love life.
“When men hear that I am a journalist, they back out. They seem interested at first, but, when they find out I am a journalist, they get intimidated and shy away”.
Beatrice Spio-Garbrah believes that most of the men that approach her are not confident enough and are easily intimidated due to her job.
Again, she noted that most at times women in the media landscape drive men away due to their fame and pride.
She believes that when most female journalists become famous, their fame eats into their heads, they become full of themselves, lack respect and as a result drive men away.
“Most women in the media landscape are suffering in their love life due to their own ego and fame. Because they are famous, they leave no room for love and drives men away,” she said.
In a very funny moment, Beatrice said she has deployed a new strategy to win men.
“I now tell them I sell water, that’s what I tell them now, because I know when I tell them I am a journalist, they will shy away.”
Though she had not had the best of life when it comes to love, Beatrice assures that she is not ready to quit her job and promises to deliver and do better for Ghana and empower a lot of women in the media landscape.
